after about two days of normal driving or depending on how hard i drive the car it starts to run hot and i saw that is was because the coolant was getting low so i filled it back to the top and it does fine for a while then disappears again especally if i drift it hard.the car has a new radiator and the termostat is perfect when i first got the car is was tested for a head gasket they said it was fine should i test it myself where could it be leaking.the car has not a drop under it after i drive it

Then yes, you should check your head gasket if you cannot find the coolant leak.
